About Alex Webb

Whether it be making a pivot to advertising 8+ years into a career in finance and winning agency person of the year 3 years later, walking on the football team at Indiana University and ending up with a pair of interceptions in Big Ten play, or teaching myself how to DJ via YouTube and gaining multiple residencies at critically-acclaimed event and nightlife spaces, there’s one common theme in my life: I don’t half-step anything I put my mind and energy behind. That unquenchable thirst for exploration and growth has been a superpower that continuously guides me, keeps me grounded and collaborative, and focused on the next ‘a-ha’ moment that unlocks a great creative idea.A little more about me?I\'m a wearer of many hats - both literally & figuratively. I\'m a creative strategist, DJ, photographer, graphic design artist, and event producer, bringing a holistic vision to every project I touch. Whether building experiences, crafting visuals, or setting the vibe, my work is driven by a deep love of culture, community, and the transformative power of art.Prior to FCB, I spent 6 years in corporate banking as an AVP Portfolio Manager for Associated Bank, a U.S. regional bank serving communities throughout the Midwest and Texas. Before that, I gained experience in the fast-paced world of investment banking at Lakeshore Food Advisors and as an analyst at CareerBuilder.com.Taking it back even further, I graduated from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, with a double major in Finance and Entrepreneurship & Corporate Innovation. During my time at IU, I was a two-time letterwinner and Academic All-Big Ten selection as a defensive back and was honored with the Senior Academic Excellence Award for being the member of the team\'s graduating class with the highest cumulative GPA. Of course, I can talk about football for days but if that’s not your cup of tea (or coffee in my case), I can go on and on about music, running, cycling, soccer, fashion, art, or the Milwaukee Bucks. Let\'s chat.
